The control, option, shift, and function keys are all right next to each
other, no? I can do the keystroke without much difficulty on an Apple
bluetooth keyboard. It's not as easy as option up or down, but it surely
would have been easier than arrowing down through so many messages. Even
locking the VO keys with VO semi colon would be faster than arrowing down
through a lot of messages. I agree it's less convenient, but it seems only
slightly less convenient to me.

Marc

That's great if you have a full keyboard. If you're on a Macbook pro, that
is a much more difficult keystroke to manage.

It's worth noting that it is still possible to move back and forth between
the top and bottom of the messages colum. You need to interact with it,
and pressing VO-shift-home and VO-shift-end will take you back and forth
between the top and bottom respectively.
Perhaps not as convenient as option up and down arrow, but certainly more
convenient than arrowing down 9000 messages.

Subject: typing first letters of message in mail
Hi all,
In case anyone is interested, typing the first letter of a recipient's
name does work if you switch to classic view. Also, if you switch to
classic view, when you go into your sent folder, you're placed at the
bottom, rather than the top of the message list. Since we know longer
have the Option up and down arrow, I personally find that useful.
Yesterday I had to sit there and scroll through nine thousand messages in
order to check something in a message I'd just sent. GRRRRR.
Just thought I'd pass this along in case these items are helpful to anyone
else.
Best,
Donna
